Biography

Research on the de Ore family, holders of Ore, Sussex and surrounding lands including Wootton "Chekeselle" (Cheeks Court, Tong) in Kent since at least 1254. Arms shown in the Visitations of Sussex merged with the Hawle/Halle family due to the c.1384 marriage of Amice (Amicia) de Ore and John Halle Senior/the Elder, Esquire who's descendants were known as "Halle of Ore".

It must be noted that there is an Ore, Sussex and an Oare, Kent (the latter abuts Faversham). Oare is spelled both Ore and Oare in ancient documents and it was held in the mid 1300s by William de Ore, knight who also held land at Brenchley, Horsmonden, Chekesell (Cheeks Court), Ranscombe and Pette. The Manor of Oare included land on the Isle of Shippley (Sheppeye) per a grant for life from Queen Philippa per the 22 Aug 1346 IPM of John de Hadlowe.^[1] Whether William of Kent and William of Sussex were the same must be determined.

Note that the de Ore and Hawle/Halle/Hale/Hall family of "Halland in Hothly", Sussex were connected by marriage in 1384 and by geography around Ore, Guestling, Hoathly, Wootton in Kent and the Isle of Wight. See the Hawle Free Space Page for information on that family.

There may be some attempt to link this family to a Scottish "Orr" family although this probably auto-generated website shows a "family crest" which is a big red flag given how coats of arms actually work. Plus, Anglicized French names such as William, Richard, Robert and John are generally handed down from the Norman Conquest, not from ancient Celtic, Scottish etc names.

Proposed Lineage

1. Henry born c. 1220, death uncertain (see below). He was a contemporary of Richard born (c.1220- bef. 29 Dec 1265 or possibly after 28 May 1281, very uncertain) who received the original grant to Ore from the King in 1254. A repeat of this grant appearing in the Close Rolls of 29 Dec 1265 gives Richard's wife's name as Cecily. She is listed as wife (uxori) not widow (vidua) but maybe the purpose of the 1265 appearance was to specifically grant the holding of Ore to Cecily. The 2 preceding entries seem to be granting holdings to the widows (late the wife of written as "que fuit uxor") of Osbert and Henry de Ore. The publisher of the book listed all three of the men as deceased in the index but Henry at least was alive in 1270. The main reason to pick Henry over Richard is Guestling manor which was granted to Henry and then appeared in the IPM of John de Ore d.1361 3 generations later.
2. John born c.1250 possible wife Amice based on 1307 record found below.
3. William born c. 1280 who may be a good fit for William de Ore, Knight who may have a tombstone or monument at the St. Helen's church in Hastings (tombstone has been moved to a nearby museum). If so then his wife was Margaret in 1335. Problem, he supposedly died 1333. Possibly another generation of William, or John was his oldest son & heir and William of 1335 was a younger son. A William de Ore who died by 1320 left a widow Elizabeth (or Isabell, the Close Rolls call her both) with property in Sussex. In 1255 (see below) a William de Ore appears as son of Robert but we can prove that there was also a William son of John based on the inheritance of Guestling in 1290 and 1307. As noted above, the William "of Ore" who held land in Kent might have been different from the one buried in Hastings, Sussex.
4. John born c.1310 died 7 Oct 1361 who held Guestling of the Earl of Richmond at his death
5. Richard born 1337 died 1 Nov 1361 who had brother Robert who appears in several records. Richard held Guestling at his death and passed it to his daughter & heir Amice; thence it passed to the Halle family when she married John Halle.
6. Amice born 1360 died bef. 24 Dec 1445 married John Senior/the Elder Halle of Hawland in Hothley. She was called "Amicia de Ore" in her father's IPM and "Amice" in later records; Amice seems to be the most common spelling of this name at the time given other records found.

Note on Arms

It is through Amice's marriage to John Hall Senior that the Hawle and Ore arms were merged; NOT as shown in the Visitation of Sussex which mistakenly swapped out John & Amice for a nonexistent "Richard Hall" where John Senior belongs.^[2] The Arms are described thusly: Arms. — Quarterly : 1, Sable three talbots' heads erased argent [Hawle] ; 2, Gules, a bend argent, fretty azure [Ore] ; 3 and 4, [blank].

When these arms were granted has not yet been determined.

Timeline Records

• 1230 charter of "Eremuth" (Yarmouth, Isle of Wight) to a Robert de Ore appears in Henry III Patent Rolls Membrane 9 as "Roberto de Ore de Eremuth" but this is some distance from Ore and Guestling so it's not certain to be the same family or at least not in a single chain of inheritance.
• 1243 Robert de Ore appears with Agnes wife of de Quabbe in an unclear Latin reference "de quinque saccis lane in comitatu Suht'; "Suht" would seem to be an abbreviation for "Southampton" as the Isle of Wight including Yarmouth was under the jurisdiction of the escheator of Southampton at the time.^[3]
• c.1249 (33 Henry III) in the Feet of Fines John of Guestling & wife Isabel and Henry de Ore & wife Agatha are granting something to Peter of Lideham. The text ends with 'hbs. Isb. et Agathe ad omnimodo nativitate et servitate in perpetuum - pro hoc fine Petrus dedit eis duas marcas." the first part of which might be "the heirs and assigns of Isabel & Agatha in perpetuity, for this Peter gave them two marks", the Latin is abbreviated and needs better translation. This is 5 years before the explicit granting of Guestling from Richard de Ore to Henry. ^[4]
• 15 Mar 1249 a Nicholas de Ore held property from Nicholas de Eyvill and his wife Clarice in "Culing"; the sheriff of "Kancie" (Kent?) took it "into the hand of the king". Uncertain of what relation, if any to Robert de Ore. Nicholas appears again in 1264 together with Walter le Boteler in what looks like "Alan of Zuch" suing to regain his wife Ellen's lands and tenements Henry III Close Rolls 1264 membrane 2d p. 409
• 1252 Close Rolls appearance of John de Ore in a list of the Barons of the Exchequer (Rex baronibus suis de Scaccario salutem...". The text references payment from Robert Doynell of "Hywigham". Membrane 27d, page 427.
• 25 Mar 1253 in the IPM of William Echingham he is shown to hold land of Richard "des Ores" in Sussex by 1 pound of pepper. William's heir is his brother Simon of Sussex.^[5]
• 15 Nov 1253 in the Patent Rolls (38 Hen III) "Protection with clause for Robert d "Oure" from Wednesday after St. Peter's Chains for so long as he is on the king's service in Gascony".^[6] Likely the same Robert who was granted Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight since he was important enough to be mentioned in this way. Presumably related to the Crusades of St. Louis, led by the French king.
• 3 June 1254 grant to Richard de Ore from Henry III: Charter granting to Richard de Ore and his heirs free warren in his demesne lands of Ore, co. Sussex. Witnesses:—William de Valencia, the king's brother, Peter de Sabaudia, John de Plessetis, earl of Warwick, John de Grey, Robert Walerand, Drew de Barentin, Peter de Monte Forti, Walkelin de Ardern, Nicholas de Sancto Mauro, Imbert Pugeys, William Gernun and others.^[7]Presumably this grant was in recognition of the services performed by Richard in Gascony and likely on the Crusade under the French King Louis in 1253. This was followed by an entry apparently written at Bordeux on October 15th of the same year: The like (referring to the entry above of a charter granting free warren to William the bishop of Worchester), at the instance of Richard de Ore, to Henry de Ore and his heirs of a fair at his manor of Gestling, co. Sussex, on the eve, the day and the morrow of St. Lawrence. Witnesses... In other words, this was Richard de Ore granting to Henry the manor of Guestling in Sussex. Henry seems to be a contemporary of Richard so possibly his brother or a close cousin rather than his son based on dates of records found.
• April 1255 Richard de Ore is listed as living "quietly" (quietanciam communis) in county Sussex; this seems to be a list of men of Sussex who are being summoned.^[8]
• Aug 1255 Quitclaim, in free, pure and perpetual alms From: William de Ore son of Robert To: the prior and convent of Canterbury Cathedral Priory For an annual payment of 30d free rent, payable by the priory in its treasury at Canterbury. Witnesses: Julian de Bestane...etc.^[9] While this does not specifically list Sussex, Canterbury in Kent is 40 miles from Ore.
• 21 Apr 1256 King Henry III acquitted Richard de Ore of a fine of one mark: The king quitted Richard de Ore of the common summons made before the justices lately itinerant in Sussex by his letters as he is informed by inspection of the rolls of Chancery. And because the same justices through deceit not bring aware of the aforesaid quittance amerced the same Richard at one mark for the aforesaid summons, the king has pardoned the same Richard that mark. Order to the barons of the Exchequer to cause the same to be quit thereof.^[10]
• 1263 Close Rolls membrane 13d p. 280 a William de Ore appears as a witness, his location is not given.
• 29 Dec 1265 Richard de Ore appears and his wife "Cecilie" is named.^[11] This is definitely the correct family, the entry above is for Henry de Ore mentioning Guestling. This seems to repeat the 1254 grant, but it names his wife Cecily. Note that she is not called "vidua" but "uxori". However the grant is to her and her heirs, so it is possible that Richard was dead by this date. The text reads (roughly): The king grants Cecily, wife of Richard de Ore, ("inimici regis" which translates as enemy of the king?) the manor of Ore with appurtenances, which is the heritage of Cecily, to be held in tenancy, etc. The Sheriff's Mandate is Sussex etc.
• 29 Dec 1265 immediately above the concession to Cecily, wife of Richard, is a concession to Agatha, wife of Henry de Ore. The text is essentially the same but for the manor of Guestling, granting this to Agatha and her heirs. She is described as "que fuit uxor" which seems to be the phrase for "late the wife of" meaning Henry was dead. But see below, Henry and Agatha are alive in 1270. ^[12]. Same day that Ore was granted to Cecily, wife (uxori) of Richard de Ore (see above). Also the same day, a concession of ""Beleye" in Derbyshire was made to Margery widow of Osbert de Ore. This may have been "Belaych", now Beeley southwest of Chesterfield. This is 200 miles from Ore so what relation, if any Osbert had to Richard is not determined. But based on a 1276 entry, Henry might not have actually been dead.
• 1270 (no date, 10 H III) John of Guestling and Is(abel) his wife, Henry of Ore and Agatha his wife give half a mark for having a pone. Order to the sheriff of Sussex.^[13] Again a Guestling connection with Henry & Agatha.
• 1276 (4 Edw I) ^[14]
• c. 1280 Feoffment from Baldwyn de Stowe kt., lord of Wilting [in Hollington] to William son of Phillip ate Hurst. Land is described at Holington in Hastings which abuts a meadow belonging to John de Ore, who witnesses the transaction.^[15]
• 28 May 1281 Sir Richard de Ore witnesses a charter from Vincent, dean of the church of St. Mary, Hastings to John son of Wymark at "Chitelbuch" involving the church and land. It may have been the original Richard who received the 1254 grant of Ore which would be appropriate since that was in his territory.^[16]
• 18 Oct 1282 (10 Edw. I) Peter de Ore of Southampton married Joan, daughter & heir of Roger de Elynges, order to the sheriff of S. to deliver the lands of Roger to Peter, he having done fealty Calendar of Fine Rolls Membrane 4 Item 1282 p. 170
• c. 1290 Petitioners John de Ore and Isabel de Gesteling (Guestling) to King and council request remedy as at the last parliament they requested remedy of this that the manor of Iden was taken into the king's hand, and is held of them of the service of a knight's fee, and suit of the court of Guestling the which service is withdrawn since the manor was taken into the king's hand. etc etc...^[17]
• 17 Jan 1303 John de Ore witnessed a 50 pound Grant and quitclaim John de Monceaus to William de Echingham, kt UKNA Ref: amsg/AMS5592/110
• 1306/07 (1 Ed II) amice late the wife of john de ore half of guestling to philip de Gestlingge remainder to william de ore son of john^[18] NB: following proposed lineage Amice would be wife of John de Ore born circa 1250 and the mother of the William de Ore in this record.
• 5 Dec 1314 A William de Ore of Kent appears on 5 Dec 1314 in the Close Rolls of Edward II with the note that these properties are in Kent (the verbiage "of the same county" is repeated in this whole series): a fee in Chekeselle, Pettes, and Ranecomb, in the same county, which William de Ore holds, of the yearly value of 100s.;^[19] Research shows that "Chekeselle" was actually Cheeks Court aka Chicks-court in the parish of Tonge near modern-day Sittingbourne, Kent. However, William did not retain it long, in 1335 Fulk Peyforer, who had been knight of the shire for this county in the 6th year of that reign, died possessed of it.^[20] While there is a Pette in Sussex, these same three properties appear held by William de Ore in the 10 July 1314 IPM of Gilbert de Clark, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford listed under Kentish properties, so the relation of William de Ore of Kent to those of Ore, Sussex is as yet unclear. Given the "Appearance in Records" of John de Ore holding Wootton from c. 1327-1346 in Kent, 40 miles from Ore and then passing it to the Hall family, it seems that this William and John of Kent & Sussex may indeed have been closely related. In the 3 Nov 1322 IPM of Joan, widow of the late Richard de Rokesle, William de Ore held Horsmonden for life by service of a cap of peacock feathers so this is another de Ore Kent property.
• 29 Sep 1315 Richard de Ore as a pledge in a contract at Canterbury, would be a contemporary of the John de Ore of proposed lineage UKNA Ref: CCA-DCc-ChAnt/S/342
• 5 Aug 1316 William de Ore is summoned to provide armed footmen to go against the Scots with the king. He is listed from Kent along with Thomas de Sandwico so whether this is the son of John or the son of Robert seems uncertain but it is presumably the same William listed above from 1314.^[21]
• 27 Aug 1324 Elizabeth, widow of William de Ore appears so must be a different William than that of 1335: Elizabeth, late the wife of William de Ore, acknowledges that she owes to Master Edmund de London, archdeacon of Bedford, 10 marks; to be levied, in default of payment, of her lands and chattels in cos. Hertford and Sussex.^[22] Curiously, the exact same text appeared on 20 Nov 1320 only "Elizabeth" is replaced by "Isabell".
• 25 Feb 1327 IPM of Walter Colpeper, William de Ore, knight holds land at Brenchley, Kent^[23] and four years later in another IPM listed as holding Horsmonden again and the people who hold it of him pay a knight's fee cementing the idea that William de Ore who held Horsmonden and Brenchley was the same man.
• 1331 (5 Edw III) JOHN DE ORE v . JAMES DE ECHYNGHAM and JOAN his wife ( by RALPH LE SPEEK , guardian of JOAN ) ; manor of GLETTYNGHAM in Sussex , manor of HEMPSTEDE and a messuage , 103 acres of land , 388. 8d . rent and rent of 12 larks and 20 herrings in LYDE , PROMHELLE , HOLEWEST and DEMECHERCHE in Kent ; to JAMES and JOAN and heirs of their bodies , with contingent remainder to heirs of JAMES , for 100 marks.^[24]
• 1332 subsidy for the hundreds of Rotherbridge (Petworth, River, Tillington, Ebernoe, Stopham, Sutton, Wollavington, Barlavington and Duncton), Holmstrow (Rodmell, Southease and Meeching), Guestling (Guestling, Icklesham, Pett and Fairlight (sums only) and details of William de Ore's stock),^[25]
• 2 May 1335 William de Ore, Knight appears in relation to the church at Patrixbourne, Canterbury, Kent about 40 miles from Ore: William de Ore, knight, and Margaret his wife put in their place Henry de Ingelby and John de Herlaston, to prosecute the execution of a recognisance for 54 pounds made to William Knyght, vicar of Patrikesbourn church, in chancery by William de Cheyne, knight.^[26] "Ingelby" may be the Ingoldsby family who were later knights. William was presumably the known knight of that name born about 1302 (his father was dead by 1335).
• ~1320-1346 A connection between de Ores of Kent & Sussex appears in the parish of Wootton (Canterbury), Kent about 40 miles from Ore. ...the reign of king Edward II. (1307-27) when John de Ore was become entitled to one moiety of it, and in the 20th year of king Edward III. (1346) he, together with Richard Wotton, or Woditon, held it jointly of the archbishop as above mentioned. After which, the moiety belonging to John de Ore passed into the name of Hall...^[27] It should be noted here that a 1395 entry in the Close Rolls of Richard II regarding John Halle describes Wootton as being in Sussex, not Kent as the King orders the escheater of Sussex to give the livery of Wootton to Elizabeth Michelgrove, widow of Henry. The preceding entry is an order to the escheator of Kent regarding property in Kent to be held in dower for Elizabeth, so maybe Wootton was indeed in Sussex at the time.
• 6 Sep 1342 in the IPM of John, Duke of Brittany and Earl of Richmond we now see Sussex properties held by de Ores:^[28]
  • Tycheshurst and Sedelescombe. A knight’s fee held by William de Ore. (Ticehurst 20 miles from Ore and Sedlescombe 5 miles from Ore) This would seem to be a different man than William de Ore of Kent since he died by 1320 when his widow (written both as Isabella and Elizabeth) owed money on properties that had been held by her husband.
  • Gestlynge. Half a fee held by John de Ore (Guestling 3 miles from Ore)
• 1343 Thomas de Ore listed as a debtor at Canterbury
• 24 Sep 1348 John de Ore appears in an interesting entry. A jury of men described as "above suspicion" is selected to look into a petition to tear down a wall & sluice system built previously to control flooding on a river flowing through Kent and Sussex. Apparently James Echingham wanted it torn down and there were accusations that he requested this for his sole benefit and to the detriment of the kingdom.^[29] This is the second reference to the matter; the first on 8 April 1348 Membrane 11d p. 80.
• 1350,51 in the Patent Rolls of Edward III similar commissions appear for John de Ore and others to survey walls & drains of the marsh of "Spadelond" (possibly Romney Marsh area today?) between Winchelsea and "Daunsewell" (possibly Dungeness?) and between "Pykammyll and Trecherie, co. Sussex". Membrane 23d p. 82 A likely similar commission of "de walliis et seweris" to John de Ore is found in 1353, presumably more about drainage in south Sussex. And on 29 June 1353 for "de walliis et fossatis" between Appledore (Apuldre), Kent and Robertsbridge, Sussex. John's son Robert received the same commission on 4 May 1366 (Patent Rolls 40 Edw 3 Membrane 13d) so clearly drainage continued to be a problem.
• 1372 Robert de Ore v. Thomas Stonlynke; manor of Ore and 48 acres of land, 5 acres of meadow, 4 acres of wood, 40 acres of heath in Ore, Holynton (Hollington Hastings) and Hastynges; to Robert for life, remainder to Amice daughter of Richard de Ore and heirs male of her body, contingent remainders to heirs male of body of Robert, or right heirs of Amice. NB: Amice would have been 12. Addressing Robert as "de Ore" indicates this is the family name, not just an "of Ore" usage.^[30]
• 1377 Robert de Ore, brother of Richard appears in the Close Rolls of Richard II v1 along with Robert Echingham and others in a quitclaim of the manor of Padbury in Bucks where de Ore, Echingham and others had been making a feoffment to a short list of people. Quite a ways from Ore but the Echinghams were well established in Sussex too. Combined with a 22 Jun 1380 appearance in the same Rolls, this seems more promising. A long list of people are required to pay feoffment to Thomas, Earl of Buckingham and Eleanor his wife including "one knight's fee in Ore held by Robert de Ore in Sussex 100s".^[31] Robert is easily found in earlier records in the Close Rolls, if anything indicating his mother's name or year of birth found it will be included here.
• The king commanded levies to be taken all over England the men commanded to do so in Sussex (except the city of Chicester) include Richard de Halle and Robert Ore. This would be Robert de Ore, brother of Amice (de Ore) Halle who married Richard Halle's son John Senior/the Elder. Richard Halle died between 1395 and 1403 (between ages 65 and 73) and Robert de Ore would have been about 38 at this time.^[32]
• 25 May 1400 Robert Ore (younger son and the brother of Amice de Ore-Hall assuming this is the correct Robert; in other records he appears as "de Ore" was assigned to a commission to investigate damage caused to "bridges, dikes, waterways" etc within and without the liberty of the Cinque Ports Confederation.^[33] Any more records found about Robert will appear on Richard's profile.
• 1428 an appearance by "Amisia de Ore" in the Rape of Hastings, Sussex in "Feudal Aids" would seem to be a different Amicia than the one who married John Halle Senior. Although this one was alive, it would seem she would be known as "Amicia Hall" at this point. A mystery not yet solved, but using internet translation from Latin: Amisia de Ore and the tenants of the tenant i. f. in Ore, Pette, Burton, and Langherst, Where Amisia holds the aforementioned"*" part of said f. by itself and others, the three parts of The same are divided between John Baker, John Langherst, and others who hold several Amisie sayings and hold one Another separately, so that there is no one else, etc. And on page 149 of the same book listed next door in the Rape of Pevensy there is an entry in a list of names of "Amisia Halle" so it would seem these are two different women as expected.^[34]

Visitations of Sussex Errors

The Visitations of Sussex that asserted incorrectly that Richard Hall married Ann Ore, daughter of John Ore thus acquiring Pett. As described on the profile of Richard Hall and supported by primary sources, the families were merged by the marriage of John Hall Senior/The Elder (son of Richard Hall) and Amice de Ore (daughter of Richard de Ore, grand-daughter of John de Ore). The Visitations completely ignored this very well documented John Hall of Ore. This marriage merged the arms of the family and the Halls began to appear as "of Ore" in records. John's other known son Robert appeared as simply "Robert Ore" (see Richard de Ore's profile).

So was this all the same family? Was the "Pette" of Kent actually the Pette of Sussex? According to the "Compendious History of Sussex" the answer is probably "yes", the Halls held Pette and would have done so through their marriage to Ore.^[35] This gives us three properties belonging to de Ore that pass to Hall; Guestling & Wootton from John and Pette from William.

Research continues.
